You are? I get an error message after install reminding that the Realplayer version installed may not work with current version of 2003?

Which version Realplayer you using 1.0 / 1.1 ? And also what network settings do you have 802.11B?

If I enter the URL of the Live broadcast (.ram) into Realplayer Open Location - error 'Incorrect or malformed protocol' pops up.

Please do tell how you have it working

thanks

hi all

ok i think ive sussed it.

make sure you have the latest version of realplayer.

goto the bbc.co.uk site as normal click on 'radio 1' (or whatever)

then click on 'listen' when the page loads you cant hear anything right?
go down the page a little and click on 'listen using stand alone realplayer'

you will be asked to download **.ram to my documents click ok and it will connect you and start realplayer.

some bbc stations use windows media player as well just click on 'listen using stand alone media player'


hope this helps

hey, thanks guys, got it.

I thought I may make a contribution if you are interested. I have a nice collection of free themes which look great on the MDA3.

go here, http://www.skigb.talktalk.net/forum/page00.htm browse and let me know your comments. I will post this as a new thread in Blue Angel forum.

Hmm

OK, got the player, could not see it before! Have downloaded r1live.ram from the beeb, tapping that starts real1player, which seems to connect to the site (displays connecting) then it says 'loading' for ages, before timing out with an error: 'Response or data from server timed out'.

I am using it on WiFi, no ports are blocked, and it works fine from a PC (also connected via wifi).

Any idea's?

your player seems setup ok. i would suggest it is your connection. can you load the beeb site ok in a browser? are you far from your wifi transmitter?

Works on a laptop from the same location, so I dont think its the network. I have tried it while next to the AP
